Question

A 12 foot board is split into 5 equal pieces. Which expression shows the length of each piece

Answer 1

Find out the which expression shows the length of each piece .

To prove

As given

A 12 foot board is split into 5 equal pieces.

Than

`Length\ of\ each\ piece = (Total\ length\ of\ board)/(Total\ number\ of\ pieces)`

Here

Total length of board = 12 foot

Total number of pieces = 5

`Length\ of\ each\ piece = (12)/(5)`

`Length\ of\ each\ piece = 2.4\ foot`

Therefore the length of each pieces is 2.4 foot.
